The Austrian state territory, with a total area of about 84,000 km2, is served by a road network of approximately 200,000 km, including about 35,000 km of highways, expressways, and federal and provincial roads. The balance of about 165,000 km are roads at the local community level and finally rural roads (approximately 100,000 km) outside village boundaries. In the future, new roads will be built principally to finalize development plans. The maintenance of the Austrian rural road network has been the major task of road agencies over the last 10 years and will be of significant importance in the future. In view of the growing need for economical methods for rural road reconstruction, the use of mixed-in-place cement stabilization with existing pavement materials (recycling of milled material) is considered to be an economical and resource-saving approach. Practical experience was gained with the preparatory work required (inspection of the existing pavement and suitability testing) and the different stages of construction work. The resulting increase of the load-bearing capacity has been proven by measurement. Additional measurements will be carried out in the future (Benkelman beam, falling weight deflectometer). Application conditions and especially limitations were evaluated. A simple comparison of costs shows that the economic benefit of the presented method depends highly on local conditions, such as the costs of material, transportation, and materials deposit.

Like in many other provinces, during the Habsburg period, the main point of orientation for Galicia was Vienna. This also applies to architecture and urban development. Galicia’s technical elite applied the theoretical and practical experience it gathered in Vienna to the towns and cities of this northeastern Crown land. Ignacy Drexler, born in 1878 in the Austro-Hungarian Lemberg, was a representative of a new generation of engineers and architects who did not necessarily have to spend time in the imperial capital to earn their spurs. Increasingly, besides the more or less obligatory stay in Vienna, other European countries became points of reference. Drexler did not live to see the realization of important aspects of his comprehensive plan for the city, but his ideas and the data he compiled were indispensable for the future development of his hometown. They shape urban planning in Lviv to this day.

Engaging people in preparing for inevitable climate change may help them to improve their own safety and contribute to local and national adaptation objectives. However, existing research shows that individual engagement with adaptation is low. One contributing factor to this might be that public discourses on climate change often seems dominated by overly negative and seemingly pre-determined visions of the future. Futures thinking intends to counter this by re-presenting the future as choice contingent and inclusive of other possible and preferable outcomes. Here, we undertook storytelling workshops with participants from the West Yorkshire region of the U.K. They were asked to write fictional adaptation futures stories which: opened by detailing their imagined story world, moved to events that disrupted those worlds, provided a description of who responded and how and closed with outcomes and learnings from the experience. We found that many of the stories envisioned adaptation as a here-and-now phenomenon, and that good adaptation meant identifying and safeguarding things of most value. However, we also found notable differences as to whether the government, local community or rebel groups were imagined as leaders of the responsive actions, and as to whether good adaptation meant maintaining life as it had been before the disruptive events occurred or using the disruptive events as a catalyst for social change. We suggest that the creative futures storytelling method tested here could be gainfully applied to support adaptation planning across local, regional and national scales.

The result of this research indicate three points. First, local authority existing that called “hak asal usul desa” coexist with local community and desa government. Second, the field of local authority as organization the governance of desa, implementation of the building of desa, and commmunity development will blossom out in the future depend on the needs of local community.Finally, design of local authority based on the Law No. 6 of 2014 can integrate and organize the local authority, if the national government still commit and consist to recognize the local authority whatever Desa has.</em></p><p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><em>: local authority, local community, state law, recognition.</em></p><p align="center"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Masalah utama dalam studi ini adalah bagaimana implikasi  berlakunya UU No. 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa terhadap kewenangan desa. Kewenangan desa yang dimaksud adalah kewenangan desa yang berasal dari hak asal usul dan kewenangan lokal berskala desa, karena kedua bentuk kewenangan desa tersebutlah yang merupakan ruh otonomi desa. Hasil riset menunjukkan bahwa desa tidak bisa diperlakukan sama sebagaimana memperlakukan daerah kabupaten, karena hakekat otonomi desa berbeda dengan otonomi daerah. Kabupaten dibentuk sebagai pelaksana desentralisasi, yang melaksanakan sebagian kewenangan yang diberikan oleh Pusat. Desa berbeda, karena memiliki kewenangan yang berasal dari hak asal usul, bukan pemberian dari pusat. Otonomi desa sudah ada jauh sebelum republik ini berdiri, dan meski didesain ulang berkali-kali melalui kebijakan pusat tentang desa , namun otonomi desa tetep eksis, salah satunya adalah dengan keberadaan kewenangan hak asal usul yang melekat pada status sosial kepala desa dan pamong desa , apapun nama dan penyebutannya, serta tercermin dari perilaku masyarakat desa yang menjunjung tinggi kehidupan sosial budayanya.Pada akhirnya desain tentang kewenangan desa diajukan sebagai bagian dari solusi, yang mencoba mewadahi dua konstruksi tentang kewenangan desa, dimana kewenangan desa eksisting masuk dalam “wadah” yang dikonstruksi UU No.6 Tahun 2015 tentang Desa, namun dengan semangat diterapkannya taat azas yaitu azas rekognisi, dimana pemerintah pusat dan daerahmengakui apapun kewenangan yang saat ini dilaksanakan oleh desa.</p><strong>Kata kunci: </strong>kewenangan desa, hukum negara,  hak asal usul desa, kewenangan lokal berskala desa, asas rekognisi.

Abstract The paper examines systems integration and its main levels at higher levels of control. At present, the systems integration is one of the main aspects participating in the consolidation processes and financial flows of a company. Systems Integration is a complicated emotionconsuming process and it is often a problem to choose the right approach and level of integration. The research focused on four levels of integration, while each of them is characterized by specific conditions. At each level, there is a summary of recommendations and practical experience. The paper also discusses systems integration between the information and MES levels. The main part includes user-level integration where we describe an example of such integration. Finally, we list recommendations and also possible predictions of the systems integration as one of the important factors in the future.

Administrative Justice

The story most often told of the ombud is of its durability and its continuing claim to promote administrative justice. Alongside that claim is an understanding that the institution has proved highly adaptable to local conditions. To comprehend this malleability, this chapter applies four cultural biases, as developed in Mary Douglas’s grid-group cultural theory, to analyse how and why different choices have been made as to the design of the ombud in different countries. The typological model developed predicts that ombuds tend to be designed to match the administrative cultures in which they are located, taking on forms that are characterised in this chapter as either consumerist, constitutional, democratic, or tactical. Adopting this approach, and using examples from the global field of ombuds, this chapter anticipates the most likely challenges and main forms of accountability pressure that the different forms of ombud will likely experience, and it reflects on the stress points for the future evolution of the ombudsman institution.

Negative Effect

Many students appear to be continually connected to social media sites such as Facebook. Such social media sites can be pervasive in nature. The use of these sites through mobile devices often extends into the classroom, sometimes to the detriment of scheduled teaching activities. Further, many students do not seem to be aware of the negative effect that ill-considered information placed on social media sites can have towards their future employment. This chapter reviews the positives and negatives of social media as it relates to the future employability of students. Due to the changing nature of this field, the chapter is largely presented from practical experience, rather than a traditional academic research-led approach. Much of the focus is on the ways that students can present themselves online in a manner which should encourage employers to offer students jobs and placement opportunities. The chapter reviews a number of the major Websites where students should establish professional profiles. It also looks at the overall need for students to establish a professional presence online and show that they are a desirable employee. The chapter concludes by looking at the challenges involved with integrating the teaching of employability through social media into existing teaching. A number of research areas for further consideration are also presented.
